Anyone else running into this? And is it affecting all objects, or just specific ones? Is it just happening in one sector, or does it happen in all of them?

I am running into this as well. I bugged it, but so we can all try and get to the bottom of it, this is what happens to me. All 3d objects undrawn. 2d ob are. I noticed this briefly in Kessell, and a lot in Endor. In Kessell, I changed the particle level in the options and it fixed it, but this would not work in Endor. I hyped from Endor to Kashy to land and reboot in hopes that would change it, but upon arriving in Kashy, problem was done. I then hyped back to Endor to help my friend with her mission and it came back after about 30 seconds in Endor. Then the game crashed to the desktop. I also noticed findfriend wouldn't work at this time as well. I did it on a friend who was in Kessell not 300m from me and it said he was in Dant...about then the 3d graphic went out for about a min.

I can target ships and destroy them, just can't see them or my shots...the ship's target box and my target reticle is visable.

I did notice the first time it happened right after I flew into an asteroid field...maybe the asteroids took out my graphics card.

Ok rebooted, did a full scan launched from Kashy. Everything fine...went to Endor and for about 10 min everything was fun, then it went out again, then I lost connection to the server. In case this matters, I did not get the expansion. Don't know if that matters, but it might.

I concur, 2D objects still good, 3D bad. I have a screenshot of the engine flare of an Xwing as I'm trying to shoot it down, but with nothing else drawn

To the poster who couldn't do the mission cos his waypoint disappeared, I had the same thing, except it still showed on my waypoint monitor so I was able to get to the waypoint still by a bit of trial and error...

bugged for me too

Happened to me too, but only in 3rd person

Glad that I'm not alone. I have Same description as above, all 3d models weren't showing, but the background, engine lights and targeting boxes were all there. And in every secotr, only if I make an Auto-pilot to a Station every thing come back, but as soon I start shooting I got the bug!!

Ooh, and also... I couldn't activate waypoints when this happened. I got the message along the lines of this waypoint couldn't be activated because it is in another system. Almost fooled me a couple of times as to where I was lol.

there is a window bug affecting some POBs right now here are a few trouble shooting questions...

Did you bug this?

Yes

What chassis where you flying?

Y-8 and Nova have same Problem for me

Did you try to zoom out to 3rd person, did that change anything?

Yes everything is visible, in a sense its like dirty windows heh

Is the background drawing?

Not in 1st person mode i only see the boxes that surround ships when in 1st person

Did you do anything at all diffrently today in or out of game? (run windows update maybe?)

nope

IF you can answer these questions please find the live bug thread and report this information to the Devs, also check out the tech support board in case the problem is on your end

I am not having this problem, but a friend is, and believe it or not, switching the sound settings from 32 to 64 has rectified it for him. Now that's weird

TBH it is not that wierd... I would suggest everyone haveing this problem try this, also updating your sound card (or subsystem as the case may be) driver could help... keep in mind this draw error is likley just a symptom of another problem, and given that it is only happening to some people it points to the client being changed and incompatable with something on the local PC.

That is just my theory.

I'm having the same problem, only I can see the exhausts of ships and after a few hits they appear for a few seconds, then disappear. Same with asteroids. It happens in all sectors. I had to use the Force to do most of the Y8 quest last nite.

I hope they fix this today, as I want to complete the quest tonight. If not, I'll have to strap a Jedi to the front of my ship...
